Trudy Meehan-Vrkic Email and Phone Number

Since the age of four she has been invited to perform at public functions, concerts and Weddings and has studied with the Australian College of Music at a very high level. Trudy began competing in eisteddfods and other state competitions throughout Queensland at the age of seven. Of these, Trudy, with the help of her sister, went on to win 1st place in the Queensland Eisteddfod, but is most proud of her victories at South Burnett winning “The Madeline McKinnon Memorial” Trophy in 1991 and 1992. 1993 was an even bigger year for Trudy as she stepped onto the stage for her first performance in a professionally produced theatre production, “The Pyjama Game”. Later that year, she performed live to air on TV for Bert Newton’s New Faces to the acclaim of the judges. At this point, it was already quite an impressive career for an 18 year old.With a passion for musical theatre, Trudy has furthered her career by maintaining a high level of professionalism and since 1993 has performed countless roles in productions from “HMS Pinafore” to “Les Miserables”. She is very proud of her affiliations and involvement with her Toowoomba connections – the Toowoomba Philharmonic Society and the Toowoomba Choral Society where she starred in several productions. A role that won her great acclaim in the Toowoomba region was that of “Velma Kelly” in the Empire Theatre’s production of Chicago amongst performers, directors and producers of great renown such as Jim Vile, Helena Moore and Helen Russell.Many people have enjoyed Trudy’s professionalism and versatility since arriving in Canberra. She has made the transition from theatre to Pop and Rock music quite comfortably leading local bands such as Industrie, Groove Generator and of course, has also found a much appreciative audience performing with her natural style and grace with the renowned local band, Hit Parade.
